The Beauty In Wisdom Poem by Francis Duggan

The physical beauty of youth is quick to decay
And many as they age use hair dyes and cosmetics to hide signs of aging away
But the beauty in wisdom that one cannot visually behold
Does mature with age as the wise one grows old
The physical beauty in youth may be nice to look at in the eyes
But the beauty in wisdom only belongs to the wise
Though wisdom you can hear but never can see
And the wise sad to say are in minority
And though the wise may not be famous and widely known
One can say of them in a class of their own
The people who learn from life every day
The wise always grow wiser as they grow gray
It is something one can hear but never can see
But there is beauty in wisdom would you not agree?
